Now, let us begin.
This season marks the return of the longest running sci-fi tv series... EVER!
Christopher Eccleston takes the role of the Doctor, a time lord (the last of his species) and his adventures to protect the universe from any threat.
He is accompanied by his newly met acquaintance, Rose (played by the amazing Billie Piper) and on occasion her boyfriend (?) Mickey (played by Noel Clarke)
The relationship between the Doctor and Rose evolves as the season progresses and her relationship with Mickey becomes more of an annoyance than a loving couple.
When (my favorite character) Jack Harkness (played by John Barrowman) is introduced, he is a con man from the 51st century. Through the series, he evolves into a hero.
The Doctor travels around in his TARDIS (Time And Relative Dimension(s) In Space) which allows hi to travel through... well... Time and Space.
They encounter many new enemies for the doctor, as well as the Doctor's most hated enemies, the Daleks.
The stories are compelling and enveloping. The characters are well developed and portrayed perfectly. And everything is conceptualized and put forward beautifully and magnificently.
Any fan of sci-fi, good stories, or British stuff will do well to buy this (and the other seasons), netflix dvd queue it (all seasons are also on instant at the time of this writing), or obtain it through... other means.
